Fintech teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical fintech operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Fintech is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
